Hi! My name is Hailey Wunder, and I'm from North Carolina. I am one of the bloggers for the 2017-2018 CIEE-CBYX Program! I am so excited to share my experience, because one of the ways I originally got interested in this program was through reading last year's participant blogs.

I have studied German for two years in school, but this coming school year they are cutting much of the German program. Back to the present day, I am leaving in less the two months?!
